Switzerland – Three Castles, Defensive Wall and Ramparts of the Market-Town of Bellinzona

TTN was invited to a familiarisation trip to Switzerland and travelled from Zurich to Crans-Montana in the Valais canton and then to Lugano in Switzerland’s Ticino region.

We are travelling east from Crans-Montana en route to Lugano on Lake Lugarno in the canton of Ticino. Bellinzona is the capital of Ticino and its three medieval castles make for a Unesco World Heritage site.

The train passes eastwards through deep river valleys, pine-clad forests and mountains and one can see many vineyards on the south-facing slopes. There are the traditional Swiss chalets and villages peppered along the landscape and one can see a glimpse of the Aletsch Glacier, the longest and most voluminous glacier in the European Alps.

I am very passionate in developing this website and make it as a one-stop center for everything about the world heritage site. However, time is not on my side. I am developing this part-time as I have a full time job during the day to worry about.

I can only realize my dream if I can develop this website full time. Hence do show your support to this website by clicking the below. Who knows, it is sufficient enough to cover for the monthly expense, and you will find a very good portal to provide info that you need.

Else, if you access the advertisements in this website and make purchases through these links, we receive a commission, which helps pay the costs of operating this website.
